In my small town we settlers have erased many traces of the first people but tonight people are putting shoes on steps and lighting lanterns for the #215 and my dearest hope is that this is a first step and not an empty gesture.

@twitandrewking Sigh. Just looking at it is a mini vacation.

“Foggy Memories” 24x36 Built in 1832, the Point Petre lighthouse in #PrinceEdwardCounty had a fog horn building added in 1890 which sounded 9-second blasts separated by intervals of 28 seconds of silence. Since demolished, the shoreline where it stood is actually limestone but I made it sand for this painting.

@DougHempstead @OttawaMorning @OliverBendzsa @HallieCBC Amazing! So perfect for you (and a great merch idea? )

@Canadian_Errant We used to bring an extra ball or two for the wee ones to play with on the side.

@Canadian_Errant Teach your kids not to eat them — highly toxic.

@billybragg I still have my original vinyl of this album, but I first heard it when a girl I worked with handed me a tape, saying “this will change your life”.

Tomorrow sees the 40th anniversary of my debut album 'Life’s A Riot with Spy vs Spy’. I’ve dug out some clips to celebrate and I hope you’ll share you memories of when and how you first heard my music. The vinyl is back in stock and can be ordered here: billybragg.tmstor.es

@LeavittAlone On fresh pasta, on a breakfast sandwich in place of butter, in a tomato sandwich…

@peggy_blair @PollyEsterTBD Thank you!

@becauseisaidso @PollyEsterTBD Shoot me a DM with a picture or two of your pet. (Nice and clear with a good facial expression, please :-)). Once I get Pete's email (he was too tired to continue our discussion) you can e-transfer him the funds then or wait until I can complete your portrait.

I just found out a friend has terminal cancer and 6 to 8 weeks to live.He can't work because of it and has no income; also has to move out of his rental at the end of the month.

@peggy_blair @PollyEsterTBD What can I do to pay for a pet portrait to help?

@PollyEsterTBD I'm going to just try to do this through pet portraits but once I have his email if you prefer to just donate directly, let me know. He had to go lie down because he wasn't feeling well but I will get his email address once he's in touch with me again.

@lindzmcleod There is no finer gift for a cat. 📦

It's actually Fitzwilliam's 2nd birthday today!! 🎂 Happy birthday to my special little guy, my best smol buddy, who has a new box to play with.

@happystash Congratulations!

Y’all. Look at it! That’s my name! First art show of the year, so hecking excited.

@DarleneEMcLeod Congratulations from this bird app stranger. That’s a lot of hard work to get there, and more ahead!

Hacking through rhubarb for @DougHempstead — this lot is getting delivered by @claytonforge tomorrow. #pie #pieplant Fuelling and funding athletes is hard work.

E-cars were 9% of car sales in 2022, and the e-car fleet was under 17 million worldwide. E-bike sales were at 275 million. Politicians and policy-makers, stop ignoring e-bikes. Via @treehugger treehugger.com/stop-ignoring-…

@happystash That red dot is the sun. Apocalyptic yellow is not the crayon 🖍️ colour I wanted.

Wildfire apocalypse vibes this morning over Ontario

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

@TDTherrien @MarkBourrie This morning the sky has a weird yellow grey glow and the air smells like smoke. It feels apocalyptic.

@MarkBourrie Right? But the country literally on fire…meh

@Canadian_Errant @TimDocChoi @raphcello Sybarite5 playing Punch Brothers, Radiohead, and Bach is also very good!

@TimDocChoi @Canadian_Errant You need to see @raphcello play — either a metal show or Bach. He’s brilliant!

@peggy_blair @tsart4u1 @6foot8cdngooner Second feels the most intense. Can’t wait!

So, which of these three choices do you like for my new novel? First, second or third? (There will be a pull quote added). Art by @tsart4u1 and photo by @6foot8cdngooner

@Canadian_Errant Hamilton is pretty warm compared to Ottawa. 😁
